Camille Paglia: I think the present Madonna is a travesty.
During a talk with self–proclaimed “Amazon feminist,” Camille Paglia, and Andy Cohen, an Emmy Award–winning host, producer and New York Times best–selling author, the topic of Madonna came up.
Camille Paglia already wrote a statement in December 2016 after Madonna gave a speech at the Billboard Women in Music event. This time, she had some harsh words, again…
In the past few weeks I’ve shown some of Madonna’s brilliant videos of the 1980ies and 90ies. Works of art of such a level, I’m practically speechless when I see them again. I can criticise the present Madonna for the way she has betrayed the genius Madonna of the 80ies and 90ies.
I think the present Madonna is a travesty.

Timbaland on working with Madonna
Timbaland opened up about his past collaborations for Entertainment Weekly’s Untold Stories issue…
The Queen of Pop brought the heat when she teamed up with Timbaland and co-producer Pharrell Williams for her Hard Candy LP — and not just metaphorically. Madonna has been known to turn down the air-conditioning at concerts and during recording sessions over concerns that colder, drier air could affect her voice. “The studio was hot,” Timbaland remembers. But apart from her high-temp preferences, there was no diva behavior in the booth. “She was down-to-earth Madonna,” he says. “She’s just brutally honest about a lot of stuff: ‘I’m doing this, I’m not going to sing that.’ She’s very matter-of-fact but still very fun and loving and into her craft.”
